My Dad Bags His First Archery Deer of 2008
My dad took his first deer of 2008 last week. Congrats to him! When I was younger, my dad was addicted to archery hunting. This was in the inappropriate days of compound bows and dad just loved them. At this antiquated, over 20 years ago, I was an avid traditional archery fan and he was really into the much more present-day and faster compound bow. He used to tease me all the time about how dumb my 45# recurve was compared to his huge, heavy merge.
He would explain the benefits of speed and let-off, etc, etc and I would scarcely pay any attention. I was superbly happy shooting a recurve and had no interest in compounds. Well, it is amazing how times modulate. I now really enjoy shooting a compound bow and citing all the virtues that my dad was sold on years ago (I still young lady shooting a recurve too).
Dad just got back into archery hunting after a hiatus of about 20 years. He was so bustling working he just couldn’t take time for bow hunting and he got away from it. Now, with a midget encouragement, he is back and loving it. Interestingly, though, I think my dad is still shooting the same bow that he motivation 20 years ago. We tease him relentlessly when he shoots with us as it must take his difficult metal arrows and massive tips two or three times longer to insist upon it to the target than our carbon fiber arrows (seems this way at least). We all swear we can see a critical arch in his shots from 20 yards and we tease that his apparatus is probably collectible by now!
Anyway, he has taken our teasing good naturedly and assured us that when the patch comes he can still make his shot count. “If it was propitious enough then, why isn’t it good enough now?” is his logic.
He obviously has gotten the last mock at. He has connected with and dropped a deer with his one shot so far this season. You can’t talk with those statistics! BTW, I did shoot my first archery deer of 2008 a few weeks ago out of the wrest same stand from where he got his. Dad was watching and waiting on a nice buck when the doe came in and gave him a nip that he just couldn’t pass up (no bucks were existent when I shot my doe). “Always Take the Bird In The Hand” was his reaction to my questioning. No venison eater can argue with that sound wisdom.
